*** This contest is now closed – see who won below!***
And this week’s random winner is… Stacy (who says “when I was little, I got the local radio dj’s autograph and thought I was so cool! Looking back, it is just funny how silly it was!”). Congrats Stacy!
We love us some Candice Olson (and still pinch ourselves that our faces share a webpage with her over on BenjaminMoore.com). So we sweet talked our way into a little Benjamin Moore / Candice Olson prize for you guys – including a signed copy of her latest book, Candice Olson Bedrooms. So once you’ve torn yourself away from petting her signature (not that we’d do that, ok we totally would) and are ready to put that Olson-spiration to use, Benjamin Moore’s gonna lend a hand with two gallons of their Aura paint, a 7-piece applicator kit, a $50 gift card, and your very own Candice Olson Design Picks fan deck. And if that’s not enough of a Candice fix for ya, you can enter to win a personal design consultation from her over on Benjamin Moore’s site.
- PRIZE: Two gallons of Aura paint, a 7-piece applicator kit, $50 gift card, a Candice Olson Design Picks fan deck and signed copy of Candice Olson Bedrooms courtesy of Benjamin Moore.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MOORE ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what other autograph have you snagged? Did you get your favorite band to sign an album cover? Or receive a signed letter from a big name public figure? Maybe you got a big novelty check signed by Ed McMahon? Or just a sweet crayon-drawing signed by a niece or nephew?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Sept 12th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States & Canada (we couldn’t leave out Candice’s homeland!)
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Benjamin Moore.

When I was 10, we were in Reno at a restaurant in a the Hilton. Country singer Randy Travis (of “Forever and Ever Amen” fame) was at the bar, and it was 1995 so he was really popular. I asked him for his autograph and he signed a cocktail napkin. I was so stoked forever, until I got way older and my family revealed to me that he was HAMMERED drunk when he signed that autograph, and I had no idea. He just recently was nailed for a DUI and was naked when he got it, so it all makes sense now.
Caroline W says
MOORE ME! Please! :-)
Probably the only autograph I have is the collected signatures of that awesome 90s band “The Gin Blossoms”. I used to coordinate an annual summer concert series and when I was handed the list of potential acts, I knew I had to have them. The lead singer wasn’t so nice, but the other band members were. It was hard not to be a fan girl!

MOORE ME!
Well I only have one and it’s Tim McGraw. I do love him though!
Vicki says
MOORE ME! …my daughter just autographed her very first birthday card to my husband. She is one and it might just be a scribble, but he kept the card :)
Melanie says
MOORE ME! I think the only signed thing I have is a DVD box set from actors in Passe-Partout, a french Canadian children’s show that I was addicted to when I was little!
Dara says
moore me! I actually have had my favorite band sign their cd covers – fun!
Tara says
Moore Me!!
Ummm….can’t think of anybody’s autograph I’ve ever gotten?? I think there must have been somebody’s when I was (much) younger, but that’s sooo long ago know that I’m drawing a blank, lol!

Krissy says
MOORE ME
Autograph: The most important to me is a card hand-signed by my grandma and grandpa (about 6 mo before my grandpa passed away suddenly). Who hand writes and signs things anymore?? I cherish it.
Sabrina says
MOORE ME
The only “celebrity” autograph I’ve ever gotten was from the cast of USA High maybe 15 years ago. Also, I might have been the only person watching that show.
Anne Klein says
Moore Me… I don’t have any famous autographs… but I would definitely also be petting Candice’s signature!
Heidi says
Moore Me!
I have a ton of baseball player’s autographs from the Yankees, Red Sox, and Baltimore Orioles. I think I need to expand my collection outside of the AL East!
Nashville Girl says

Amanda G. says
Moore Me!
I don’t have any cool famous people autographs, but I do have lots of drawings and letters from my 11 year old little sister over the years! Always nice to get a letter in the mail that simply says “You’re the best sister ever!” :)
Leslie Becker says
Moore Me! My husband is a baseball fan and we have a few signed baseballs

MOORE ME

Liz says
MOORE ME!
…. Nancy Kerigan(sp?) I was a little girl with big dreams … I may have peaked then.
Janet says
MOORE ME: I’ve loved Candice since I was in high school. My first house (2004) – I totally renovated a bathroom with her in mind. Can’t wait to see her bedroom book – our bedroom in our new house is a blank slate.
Kathryn S says
Moore me!
Mandi says
MOORE ME! I can’t think of any famous autographs …just my kiddos on their amazing artwork! :)
Erica says
MOORE ME!
When I was in grade school, Sheryl Crow was my music teacher (no joke!). She came back to visit our school,(while on tour with Michael Jackson) and I had her sign a local newspaper article. I held onto for years, but when we moved, I somehow lost it =(
dino says

MOORE ME
I once got a posted autographed by Rusted Root. Then I got it home and said, “What the heck am I going to do with a poster autographed by Rusted Root?” So I threw it away. Ha!
Krystle Clark says
MOORE ME!
I did snag a Kristi Yamaguchi autograph when our 7th grade class wrote letters to our “heros”. Kind of funny now that I look back on it that my “hero” at the time was a professional ice skater!
Samantha says
Moore Me! My favorite thing is to see where my Grandpa (who passed away 3 1/2 years ago) signed his name on notes/letters. It’s so sweet to see his handwriting and makes me feel like he’s not so far away.
Jessica says
MOORE ME!
The only autograph I have ever scored was from Minnie Mouse at Disney Land when I was little!
Krista says
MOORE ME… I don’t actually have the autograph, but when Andre 3000 of Outkast checked out a video from Blockbuster (1996 ish) I asked him to sign the receipt and he said something about needing his autograph. I probably should have asked him to sign something for me but didn’t want to bother him.
Sarah says
Moore ME! I’ve never got an autograph from anyone famous but I did get the set list from one of my favorite bands Built to Spill!
Emily says
MOORE ME!!
My most recent autograph is a book signed by the Pioneer Woman herself! However, I have a couple signatures from Good Charlotte, Blink-182, MxPx, Jessica Simpson, and a couple others from concerts I’ve been to.

MOORE ME!
I went to a book signing for one of my favorite YA authors (Laini Taylor) and got my picture taken with her too :)

MOORE ME. No autographs for us – this would be a first.

“MOORE ME”
I have never snagged any type of autograph. But, my 3 year old son was very excited last week when he got his baseball signed by “Big Lug”, the mascot of our local minor league ball club!
Elizabeth says
MOORE ME!

Moore me!
I’ve got a photo of myself and Gloria Estefan, signed and all. But I look so bad in the photo that I never displayed it.
